Someone should tell him to throw his CV in not his hat..

Lets make the right choice & not rush in to appointing a coach short term & lose the chance to appoint a genuine top quality coach for 2012 in the new stadium.
It is obvious to me the club had plans to appoint a new coach for 2012, I hope what has happened does not effect this.

The one person being bandied around that I would shudder at the prospect of getting is Millward, give or take a 100 llbs or so in weight him and SM are cut from the same cloth.

If there is a better option than Lam I'd love to know who it is, doubt any of the really big names in OZ would be interested (OK not doubt but deep down know) and of the British options Kear long term I can see developing into SM mark two and losing his touch very quickly.

Brian noble is available. He would do a credible job at salford.

I don't want Millward as the next Salford coach at all.

However I'm not sure how you (and several others) see him and McRae as being "cut from the same cloth"?

Compare the dire football that we played in NL1 under McRae with the free-flowing, fast, entertaining, attacking RL that Millward's Leigh are currently playing and it's very difficult to see any similarities at all??

Add to that the fact that Leigh's team is currently full of local lads (in one game earlier this season they fielded a side that were all from Lancashire!) and they hae hardly any foreign players and it's even harder to see how SM & IM get compared?!

We all know mcrae's succesor will be an aus assitant or an old guy who has nothing to gain. (hint). Who knows? i dont realey care who it is along as they sort us out

ey maybe everyone can moan about simms. ?? same old

It's more their personal traits, background and experience that are similar and less the football they play.

Dark horse Mark Aston ?

I doubt that he would stand up to the weight of expectation from the fans and from the board with the new stadium. Lam might be reasonably new but he has been involved in the high pressure NRL where as Aston is used to lower league stuff. Do like Aston though and he does strike me as someone who would make a very good coach of a Halifax, Leigh or a team at the very top of the second rung of the ladder.

Kurt Wrigley is apparently the number one target to replace McRae.

He is supposed to be interested but Souths aren't keen to release him though as they want him to stay on as assistant to McGuire next season.

Let them keep him then, not sure if he would be much better than some of the UK based alternatives.

The abuse McRae got off you lot was over the top. You're not a big club so what were you expecting?

Are you likely to attract a coach which has won the trophies he has in the past? No.

Thank you for your wonderful insight into matters. Maybe you'd like to take Cullen back to free up Smith?.

But when Warrington were going nowhere under Cullen you got right behind him of course.
